DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In accordance with various embodiments, mechanisms (which can include methods, systems, and media) for providing media guidance are provided.

Generally speaking, the mechanisms described herein can provide media guidance by presenting media content on a media playback device, such as video content of a live event being presented on a television device, and, upon launching an application executing on an associated mobile device, presenting additional content on the mobile device related to the media content being presented on the media play back device, such as a preview of additional content provided by a related content feed, biographical information relating to the entities appearing in the media content being presented on the media playback device, etc. In some embodiments, the application executing on the mobile device can be used to control the content being presented on the media playback device (e.g., switching to a related content feed).

In accordance with some embodiments, the mechanisms described herein can cause media content (e.g., live content, pre-recorded content, video content, audio content, and/or any other suitable type of media content) to be presented on a media playback device. The mechanisms described herein can then provide options for presenting the media content associated with a different content feed on a mobile device that is associated with the media playback device. In some embodiments, in response to determining that an alternative content feed has been selected on the mobile device, the mechanisms can present the media content associated with the alternative content feed on the media playback device. For example, while watching video of a live concert event from a live video stream on a media playback device, the mechanisms can provide the user with options to view alternate views of the live concert event from different live video streams or receive alternative content from other content streams (e.g., alternative commentary) on the mobile device and/or the media playback device.

Additionally, in some embodiments, the mechanisms described herein can indicate the availability of additional content related to the media content on the mobile device. In some embodiments, the additional content can include information related to the media content (e.g., information about an event associated with the media content, a map of the devices associated with the live content feeds, and/or any other suitable information), an opportunity to purchase items related to the media content, and/or any other suitable additional content. As a specific example, if the media content relates to a live music festival, the additional content can include information about songs being performed at the music festival, artist information about the performers on each stage of the music festival, opportunities to purchase audio files of the songs performed at the music festival, and/or any other suitable additional content. As another specific example, if the media content relates to a sporting event, the additional content can include information about players in the game, statistics about the game, and/or any other suitable content.

In some embodiments, the mechanisms described herein can correlate the user interaction with each of the content feeds. For example, the mechanisms described herein can receive an indication of a user-specified time point associated with the media content in a particular content feed (e.g., one camera view of a live concert event) that is to be stored as a bookmark in that content feed. In some embodiments, the mechanisms can cause an indication of the time point to be stored in association with identifiers of any available content feeds associated with the media content. For example, in some embodiments, the indication of the time point can be stored in association with an identifier of the content feed used to present the media content on the media playback device, as well as identifiers of content feeds that were not used to present the media content on the media playback device (e.g., bookmarks in associated content feeds). In such embodiments, the mechanisms can allow a user to view the media content from the user-specified time point from any of the available content feeds.

Turning to FIG. 1A, an example 100 of a user interface for presenting a verification code on a media playback device is shown in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. For example, in response to accessing a content source on a media playback device, the media playback device can present user interface 100 that includes a verification code to access additional or supplemental content on a different device.

Turning to FIG. 8, an example 800 of a process for presenting, on a mobile device, options for controlling playback of media content and/or presenting additional content related to media content being presented on a media playback device is shown in accordance with some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. In some embodiments, portions of process 800 can be implemented on server(s) 602.

Process 800 can cause media content to be presented on the media playback device at 802 using any suitable technique(s). For example, in some embodiments, process 800 can determine that a particular media content item has been selected (e.g., from a link on a web site, and/or in any other suitable manner), and process 800 can cause the media content item to be transmitted to media playback device via communication network 604 in response to the determination. As described above, the media content can include any suitable video content and/or audio content. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the media content can include any suitable live content and/or recorded content.

Process 800 can begin by determining that a verification code has been received by the mobile device at 804. As described above in connection with FIGS. 1A and 1B, in some embodiments, the verification code can be any suitable sequence of characters and can be entered on the mobile device, for example, through user interface 150 of FIG. 1B. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, verification can be provided in any other suitable manner. For example, in some embodiments, a microphone on the mobile device can be used to record audio content of the live event being presented on the media playback device, and process 800 can verify that the recorded audio content corresponds to the live event being presented on the media playback device. As another example, in some embodiments, a camera on the mobile device can be used to capture an image and/or a video of any suitable duration (e.g., a second, two seconds, five seconds, and/or any other suitable duration) of the live event being presented on the media playback device, and process 800 can verify that the recorded image and/or video correspond to the live event being presented on the media playback device.

Process 800 can establish an association between the mobile device and the media playback device based on the verification code at 806. The association can be established based on any suitable information. For example, in some embodiments, process 800 can determine that the verification code entered on the mobile device (e.g., as in user interface 150 of FIG. 1B) corresponds to the verification code presented on the media playback device (e.g., as in interface 100 of FIG. 1A), and can determine that the mobile device and the media playback device are to be associated based on the determination.

Process 800 can cause a first user interface indicating one or more options for additional content and/or alternative camera feeds to be presented at 808. An example of such a user interface is shown in and described above in connection with FIG. 2A. In some embodiments, process 800 can determine the one or more options for additional content and/or the alternative camera feeds available based on any suitable information. For example, in some embodiments, the media content being presented can be associated with information that indicates available options and/or available camera feeds, and process 800 can access the information to determine the available additional content and/or camera feeds. As a more particular example, in some embodiments, the available options and/or camera feeds can be specified in one or more user interfaces (e.g., as shown in and described below in connection with FIGS. 9A-9C), for example, by a creator and/or a producer of the media content.

Process 800 can receive a first selection indicating that additional content is to be presented on the mobile device at 810 based on any suitable information. For example, in some embodiments, process 800 can determine that a selectable input (e.g., one of selectable inputs 208-214 of FIG. 2A) has been indicated. As described above in connection with FIGS. 2A-2D and FIGS. 5A-5D, the additional content can include any suitable content related to the media content being presented on the media playback device. For example, in instances where the media content is a live concert event, the additional content can include information about the music being performed (e.g., as in FIG. 2C), information about the concert (e.g., as in FIG. 2D), one or more links to purchase music played at the concert, and/or any other suitable additional content.

Process 800 can cause the additional content to be presented using any suitable technique(s) at 812. For example, in some embodiments, the additional content can be specified by a producer of the media content via a user interface (e.g., as shown in and described below in connection with FIGS. 9A-9C), and process 800 can access the information acquired through the user interface(s) to identify the additional content and/or links to the additional content. Process 800 can then cause the user interface containing the additional content to be transmitted to the mobile device via communication network 604.

Note that, in some embodiments, process 800 can determine whether the additional content is to be presented on the mobile device and/or on the media playback device prior to causing the additional content to be presented. For example, in some embodiments, process 800 can determine that additional content that requires interaction from a user, such as a poll, opportunities to purchase items, and/or any other suitable additional content, is to be presented on the mobile device. As another example, in some embodiments, process 800 can determine that additional content related to information about a live event (e.g., information about a location associated with the event, information about a song performed at a concert event, and/or any other suitable additional content) is to be presented on the media playback device. In some embodiments, in instances where process 800 determines that additional content is to be presented on the media playback device, process 800 can additionally determine a duration (e.g., one minute, two minutes, five minutes, and/or any other suitable duration) that the additional content is to be presented on the media playback device.

Process 800 can receive a second selection indicating that the media content is to be presented from an alternative camera feed on the media playback device at 814 based on any suitable information. For example, in some embodiments, process 800 can determine that one of camera indicators 224-228 of FIG. 2B has been selected. In some embodiments, process 800 can identify a particular alternative camera feed based on information associated with the received selection. As a specific example, if process 800 determines that camera indicator 224 of FIG. 2B has been selected, process 800 can determine that the selected alternative camera feed corresponds to a camera associated with a “stage” location and/or target. In some embodiments, process 800 can additionally identify an associated identifier and/or Uniform Resource Locator (URL) associated with the selected alternative camera feed, as described below in connection with FIG. 9C.

Process 800 can cause the media content to be presented using the selected alternative camera feed on the media playback device at 816 using any suitable technique(s). For example, in some embodiments, process 800 can cause the media content from the first camera feed to be paused and/or stopped and can then cause the media content to resume using content recorded from the selected alternative camera feed. In some embodiments, process 800 can indicate which camera feed the media content is being presented from, as shown in and described above in connection with FIGS. 3A and 3B.

Process 800 can receive an indication that a point in the media content being presented is to be bookmarked at 818. As described above in connection with FIGS. 4A and 4B, the indication can be received based on any suitable input. For example, in some embodiments, the indication can be received based on a determination that a particular input (e.g., a particular button, a particular key press, and/or any other suitable input) has been received on the mobile device. In some embodiments, process 800 can determine a time point at which the indication is received. As a specific example, process 800 can determine that the indication was received at a particular time after presentation of the media content began. As another specific example, in instances where the media content includes live content, process 800 can determine a time (e.g., 1 p.m., and/or any other suitable time) at which the indication was received. In some embodiments, process 800 can cause an indication of the time point to be presented in connection with the presentation of the media content, as shown in and described above in connection with FIGS. 4A and 4B.

Process 800 can store information relating to the indicated time point in association with identifiers of one or more camera feeds that have recorded and/or are recording the media content at 820. For example, in some embodiments, process 800 can store an indication of the time point in association with an identifier of the camera feed currently being used to present the media content. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, process 800 can store an indication of the time point in association with identifiers of any available camera feeds that are not currently being used to present the media content. In some embodiments, process 800 can cause indications of the time point to be presented in a user interface showing all bookmarked time points associated with the media content, for example, in response to determining that selectable input 214 of FIG. 2A has been selected.

In some embodiments, identifiers of available camera feeds associated with the media content and/or identifiers of additional content related to the media content can be specified through one or more user interfaces, for example, by a producer and/or creator of the media content. In some such embodiments, server(s) 602 can cause the user interface(s) to be presented. Similarly, in some embodiments, server(s) 602 can store information received through the user interface(s), and can transmit the stored information to process 800. FIGS. 9A-9C show examples of user interfaces for receiving information associated with available camera feeds associated with the media content and/or additional content related to the media content.
